Saw this in Wokingham. Couldnt believe it. Having never been fortunate enough to see an F1 on the road I see this within a few weeks of release. Wish i just walked back to the front again and got a pic. They doo look awesome on the flesh.

My only concern with some of these new supercars is the sound. They're all going for turbo configurations which just don't sound very good. The Huaryayryaur is the same, it's epic but it just sounds boring.

Yup, 176bhp delivered via an electric motor bolted to the crank. That makes it faster than a gti-6 without even burning any petrolLOL

Was also comparing acceleration figures. McLaren P1 o-124 mph in 7.8 seconds which is a whisker faster than the all singing all dancing Gayron Veyron.

Then look at the feature on the Peugeot 208 T16 group B rally car. 0-150 in 8 seconds. Yeah bye bye P!, bye bye Gayron Veyron.

Awesome car, knocked something like 19 seconds of the record on Pikes peak challenge and it looks absolutely incredible too.

Nope, Group B rally cars were only about for a short time as they were bonkers, and caused a few fatalaties. Was around from 1982 to 1986 I think it was.

That 208 T16 is mental though. Thought it was closer to around a minute faster than previous time? Might be wrong though.

If your talking about Pikes Peak, it was closer to a minute thirty ahead of the previous record. Made everything else look a bit silly LOL

The fact that this was the first year they ran the race on a fully tarmacked course probably had a lot to do with the big drop in times. Only the first quarter of the course used to be paved, the rest was dirt/gravel.

If you watch the video it even looks like he takes it easy on a few occassions...like he could shave off even more time with a bit more practice.
